French fry dispute between friends ends with bullet to the head, cops say



It started with a dispute between two Texas friends over sharing french fries and ended with one of them shooting the other in the head, Fort Worth police said.

Police said officers were dispatched around 6:30 p.m. Jan. 28 to an apartment complex near the 9500 block of Jeremiah Drive in reference to a shooting.

'He didn't think he was going to get shot, especially over french fries that [were] his.'

Officers arrived on scene and found an adult male victim with an apparent gunshot wound to his head, police said.

Detectives with the Gun Violence Unit learned that an argument between friends had taken place over an order of french fries that the victim did not want to share with the suspect, police said.

A verbal argument between the two escalated to a shooting, police said, adding that the suspect fled the apartment after the shooting. Detectives interviewed multiple witnesses and have identified the suspected shooter, who was known to live in the same apartment complex, police said.

However, police said they did not locate the suspect after conducting a search of the area and apartment complex.

Officers began CPR on the shooting victim until Fort Worth Fire EMS relieved them, police said. The victim was taken to a local hospital but was pronounced dead several hours later, police said.

Lemarques Darden, 18, was arrested Monday and faces a murder charge in connection with the shooting death of 19-year-old Jarvis Davis, the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reported.

The paper said Darden was booked into the Fort Worth City Jail. By Tuesday, he was booked into the Tarrant County Corrections Center; jail records on Thursday indicate Darden is still behind bars with no bond.

Davis' mother, Sherika Kennedy, told the Star-Telegram that a Wingstop meal was nearly over at the apartment when the argument between the two friends erupted.

Kennedy told the paper that when Davis declined to share his fries, the suspect got angry and fired a bullet into Davis' head. Kennedy's son died several hours later in the trauma intensive care unit of Harris Methodist Hospital in Fort Worth, police told the Star-Telegram.

"He didn't think he was going to get shot, especially over french fries that [were] his," Kennedy told the paper.

The Star-Telegram added that Davis had lived in Fort Worth for a year but grew up in Shreveport-Bossier City, Louisiana. He moved with his family to Texas in 2020, settling in Lewisville, his mother told the paper.

"He was only 19, with his whole future ahead of him," Kennedy wrote in a GoFundMe post. "He was a loving son, a protective brother, and a fun-loving uncle to his three nieces. He brought laughter, energy, and love to those around him, and his absence has left a deep void in our hearts."

Woman fatally shoots 15-year-old home invader; cops arrest his fleeing alleged accomplice — who gets even more bad news



A Mississippi woman fatally shot a 15-year-old home invader over the weekend — and police later arrested his alleged accomplice.

Jackson police told WAPT-TV that two males wearing ski masks broke into a unit at the Park at Inverness apartment complex on Ridgewood Road around 2:30 a.m. Sunday.

'To be honest, they got what they deserved.'

Police told the station that the woman in the unit, fearing for her safety, grabbed a handgun and fired multiple rounds, hitting one of the masked males.

The masked male fell to the floor and later died, and his body was partially inside the apartment when police and investigators arrived. The coroner confirmed that he had been shot several times, WAPT said.

The second suspect who fled the scene — identified as 18-year-old Quintavion Myles — was located and arrested the same day, WLBT-TV reported.

The fatally shot suspect was identified on Sunday afternoon as 15-year-old Kaden Young, WLBT added.

The woman involved in the shooting was taken to police headquarters for questioning and later released, WAPT reported, adding that authorities said the shooting might be justifiable under the state's Castle Doctrine law.

Myles was booked into the city holding facility, WLBT reported.

Myles appeared in court Monday, WLBT said in follow-up story, and while he was granted a $150,000 bond for burglary of an occupied dwelling, he was denied bond on a murder charge.

Jackson Police Chief Tyree Jones told the station why Myles also was charged with murder: “As a result of their conspiracy to allegedly take this crime on their hands or to be involved in this crime, there’s a result of a loss of life. And by them acting in concert together, they’re both being, or they could both be held responsible for whatever happens."

The police department plans on sending its findings to the Hinds County District Attorney’s Office to consider whether they can be presented to a grand jury, WLBT said.

Jones added to the station that this crime should serve as a warning to young people.

“These things have to be considered when our youth are making decisions," he told WLBT. "You would hate to use this as a story to tell our youth about, but here we are. We’re having to use this as a story to our youth to show them ... this is what can potentially happen if you make the wrong decisions."

Tre Ingram, a resident of the Park at Inverness, told WAPT he has little if any sympathy for Myles or Young.

"To be honest, they got what they deserved," Ingram told the station. "They broke into her house. She had the right to defend herself."

Day-care worker confesses to 'intentionally suffocating' 11-month-old boy who died; it was 'an attention-seeking act': Cops



A day-care worker in Minnesota confessed to "intentionally suffocating" an 11-month-old boy who died last fall, police told WCCO-TV, adding that it was "an attention-seeking act."

Theah Loudemia Russell, 18, is in custody and will face a second-degree murder charge and other charges, Savage Police Chief Brady Juell told the station, which added that formal charges were expected to be filed Thursday.

Authorities investigating Russell's background found 'a documented history of attention-seeking behavior,' including 'nonsensical' 911 calls, fire-starting, and 'erratic behavior toward other children,' Juell added to the station.

A 911 call came from Rocking Horse Ranch in Savage on Sept. 22 reporting that a child — later identified as 11-month-old Harvey Muklebust — was not breathing, WCCO said.

Authorities responded, and the boy was taken to a hospital where he later died, the station said.

Three days before, Savage police responded to Rocking Horse Ranch on a report of an unresponsive 4-month-old, the chief told WCCO. In addition, just two hours before the 911 call about the 11-month-old boy, the same 4-month-old child was found unresponsive, but police were not called, the station said.

Juell told WCCO that Russell's "behavior and actions at the scene immediately raised suspicion, drawing investigative focus to her as the primary person of interest."

Authorities investigating Russell's background found "a documented history of attention-seeking behavior," including "nonsensical" 911 calls, fire-starting, and "erratic behavior toward other children," Juell added to the station.

Following a three-month investigation, Juell told KTSP-TV a clear pattern emerged: Russell was involved in all three incidents at the day care, had the last contacts with the children before the incidents occurred — and exhibited suspicious behavior in the immediate aftermath of each incident.

Russell in an interview with police confessed to "intentionally suffocating" Muklebust and the other child "in an attention-seeking act," Juell told WCCO, adding that she "confessed to the attempted murder of our first victim on two occasions and to the murder of Harvey Muklebust."

Russell had worked at the day care for only three weeks before the boy's death, Juell noted to the station.

WCCO said that after the infant's death, Rocking Horse Ranch owner Lisa Weiss told the station she had no comment.

The Minnesota Department of Human Services said it suspended Rocking Horse Ranch's license on Sept. 23 but that the suspension is under appeal.

Russell on Friday was listed on the inmate roster at Scott County Jail. She's also facing felony assault charges, jail records show.

Thug allegedly records video of himself fatally stabbing sleeping man on Chicago train in unprovoked attack



Prosecutors said a male recorded cellphone video of himself fatally stabbing a sleeping man on a Chicago train in an unprovoked attack early Saturday morning, WGN-TV reported.

Police responded to the Clark and Lake station just before 2:30 a.m. for a report of a stabbing, WGN said.

'Somebody got his ass.'

The victim, Dominique Pollion, had been asleep on the CTA Blue Line train for about an hour and had no interactions with the attacker before the stabbing, the station said, citing court documents. Police said the victim was 37 years old.

Prosecutors said Demetrius Thurman, 40, entered the train just before 2:20 a.m. and walked up behind Pollion while holding his phone in his right hand and a knife in his left hand, WGN reported.

Thurman began recording and allegedly stabbed Pollion once in the chest and once in the abdomen, the station said.

Pollion screamed, backed away down the aisle, and then collapsed, WGN said.

Thurman was accused of fleeing between train cars and then recording the scene through the window once the train stopped at Clark and Lake, the station said.

He allegedly told security officers "somebody got his ass" before leaving the station, WGN reported.

Security officers initially did not know Pollion had been stabbed since he was wearing multiple layers of clothing, the station said.

Paramedics found the stab wounds, WGN reported, but Pollion was pronounced dead at a local hospital.

Detectives recovered CTA surveillance video of the incident, the station said, adding that Thurman was identified through the secretary of state’s facial recognition program using a still photo taken from the surveillance video.

In addition, a Chicago police officer recognized Thurman from a police bulletin about the stabbing, remembering he interacted with him a few days before on a Blue Line train, WGN reported.

Thurman was arrested Sunday wearing the same clothes he wore during the incident, the station said, citing documents. WGN said in its video report that Thurman also had the cell phone in his possession.

A relative of Thurman identified him to detectives, the station said, citing court documents — and he reportedly admitted to the crime.

A judge ordered Thurman detained during a Tuesday hearing on a first-degree murder charge, WGN reported.

His criminal history includes three traffic offenses — most recently in 2023 — as well as a DUI in 2017 and a disorderly conduct in 2014, the station said.

Father reveals chilling words mother spoke after allegedly killing her 1-year-old daughter on New Year's Day



A Louisiana woman has been charged with murder after police said she fatally shot her 1-year-old daughter on New Year's Day.

The Sulphur Police Department said a shooting was reported around 8:21 p.m. at a home on Quelqueshue Street. Sulphur is a little over three hours west of New Orleans.

'I almost lost two babies. I lost one because her mama wanted to send her to God.'

Police said a 1-year-old girl "had been shot and killed."

The investigation revealed that the girl was "shot and killed by her mother, Kristin Bass," police said.

Officers arrested the 28-year-old mother, and she was charged with first-degree murder. Her bond was set at $10 million.

KPLC-TV reported that the slain child's father, Bradley Moss, told investigators he heard a boom and ran into a room to find their 1-year-old daughter shot and Bass holding a gun.

Meanwhile, the couple's 2-year-old child was crying for help, according to the station.

The father of two reportedly said, "I almost lost two babies. I lost one because her mama wanted to send her to God."

Moss added, "[My older daughter] said, 'Help me, daddy.' And Kristin said, 'I just sent our baby to God.'"

Moss said Bass then uttered, "Now I gotta get her."

Moss identified the shooting victim as Acelynn Moss, according to KPLC.

The Louisiana Department of Children and Family Services took custody of the surviving toddler, according to Moss.

Police are asking anyone with information regarding the case to contact Sgt. Jeremy Cain at 337-527-4558.

Police did not immediately respond to Blaze News' request for comment.

Beloved elderly fire department member mauled to death by pack of pit bull-mix dogs; owner charged with murder, animal abuse



An elderly fire department member was mauled to death by a pack of dogs in North Carolina, according to authorities. Now a dog owner has been charged with murder, and the pit bull-mixes involved in the dog attack reportedly have been euthanized.

The Davidson County Sheriff's Office said in a statement that deputies were dispatched to a residence around 7:43 p.m. Nov. 18.

'He was deeply loved, and his absence has left a pain that words cannot fully express.'

Deputies discovered 73-year-old Michael Bodenheimer "lying deceased in the front yard of the residence."

Police said Bodenheimer had "sustained severe injuries and was beyond the possibility of life-saving intervention."

"Preliminary findings at the scene indicated that his injuries were consistent with an attack by a large pack of canines," the sheriff's office stated.

Officers tracked down a "pack of aggressive canines" at a property nearby, and members of the Davidson County Animal Control captured 17 dogs, identified as "pit bull-mixed breeds."

The animals were euthanized, and necropsies were conducted.

According to WBTV-TV, officers claimed that 56-year-old owner Elaina Bryant of Thomasville let the dogs run loose at night, and they "lived in feces without food." Citing the arrest warrant, the station added that the dogs were underweight and had not received vaccinations or veterinary care.

The indictment alleges the dogs were left without fresh water and adequate shelter.

WBTV reported that there was an enclosure "infested with fleas and vermin and covered in excrement." Authorities alleged that the enclosure had not been cleaned in weeks or months, according to the indictment.

Investigators described the dogs as living in "conditions of squalor and starvation," the indictment said.

An autopsy conducted on Bodenheimer confirmed that he died as a result of injuries sustained in the brutal dog mauling, according to police.

Detectives determined that Bryant owned the dogs involved in the fatal attack. Citing court documents, the Charlotte Observer reported that Bryant lives about half a mile west of Bodenheimer’s home.

The sheriff's office investigation concluded that Bryant was "grossly negligent in the care and control of the animals."

Bryant was arrested Dec. 17, and a Davidson County Grand Jury indicted her on one count of second-degree murder and 17 counts of felony animal abuse, WYMY-TV reported.

Bryant is being detained at the Davidson County Detention Center on a $500,000 secured bond set by a Davidson County Superior Court judge.

Her next court date is scheduled for Jan. 5, 2026, in Davidson County Superior Court.

Bodenheimer's family said in a statement to WYFF-TV, "Our family is heartbroken by the loss of our father. He was deeply loved, and his absence has left a pain that words cannot fully express."

The family said that they were aware of the charges filed against Bryant.

"We have full confidence in the legal process and will allow it to move forward without further comment," the family said.

"Our focus remains on honoring our father’s life, his values, and the love he shared with those around him," the statement read. "We appreciate the support, prayers, and kindness that have been extended to our family during this incredibly difficult time."

Bodenheimer's obituary read, "Mike had a generous spirit and faithfully served his community by volunteering with the Fair Grove Fire Department and Friends Disaster Service."

The fire department said in a statement:

Mike was a long-time member of the Fair Grove Fire Department serving the Fair Grove community for many years. This particular incident involving one of our own has hit the department pretty hard since several of our current members served with him. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends, as well as our own members.

The investigation is ongoing.

'You done f**ked up, son!' Cop rubs it in after capturing homicide suspect armed with handgun modified as fully automatic



Atlanta police officers from a special unit were seen on dashcam and bodycam videos converging upon and tackling a homicide suspect who was armed with a handgun modified as fully automatic, police said in a video released earlier this month.

Police said officers with the Auto Crimes Enforcement Unit were alerted to a homicide suspect driving in the area of Pickfair Way SW near Ashwood Avenue NW on Oct. 28.

'Ram our f**kin' car?'

The officers located the suspect's vehicle and then used their patrol vehicles to box in the suspect's vehicle, police said.

However, the suspect rammed patrol vehicles in front of him and behind him in an attempt to escape before fleeing from his vehicle while armed with a handgun that had been modified to be a fully automatic weapon, police said.

While running from his car, the suspect threw the gun into an adjacent wooded area, after which officers took him down to the street.

"Get your ass on the ground!" one officer yelled at the suspect.

Once lying upon the street, the suspect quickly gave himself up, telling the arresting officer, "You got me!'

But the officer rubbed in the arrest just a bit, telling the suspect as he handcuffed him, "You done f**ked up, son! ... Ram our f**kin' car? We ain't the normal police, pimp!"

Police said the suspect was identified as 37-year-old Keith Hawkins, who was wanted for his involvement in a homicide that occurred at 700 Eloise Street SE on April 9.

Hawkins was charged with murder, aggravated assault, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon (two counts), possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony, possession of a machine gun, willful obstruction of law enforcement officers, and operating a vehicle without insurance, police said.

Suspect walks free amid serious charges due to jaw-dropping technicality — and is accused of murder just weeks later



A 29-year-old male accused in a fatal stabbing in Boston over the weekend was facing weapons and drug charges less than a month ago but walked free.

Court records indicate that Javonte Robinson's previous weapons and drug charges were dismissed when an attorney could not be found after 45 days, WCVB-TV reported.

'Under Governor Healey, the state failed to pay public defenders adequately, failed to ensure the courts had the staffing they needed, and failed to protect the public.'

Robinson's case was dropped amid a work stoppage involving private attorneys who normally defend suspects who can't afford lawyers, the station said, adding that the attorneys in question stopped accepting new cases in May in an attempt to force the state to pay them more.

WCVB said Robinson was among 145 individuals whose charges were dismissed in one day of court proceedings.

Robinson then allegedly stabbed a man Saturday night in the city's Mattapan neighborhood, and the victim was taken to a hospital, where he died, Boston police said, according to the station. Robinson was arrested just after 3 p.m. Sunday, WCVB noted.

Robinson was arraigned Monday in Dorchester District Court and pleaded not guilty to the murder charge, Boston.com reported, citing court records. He was then taken to Suffolk County Jail, the outlet added.

More from Boston.com:

In late August, Robinson was arraigned on charges of possession of a dangerous weapon and possession of a Class A drug. He was released on personal recognizance, according to the records, but was transported to Attleboro District Court, where he was wanted on other outstanding warrants.

Last month, Robinson’s charges were dismissed without prejudice, meaning that the case could be reopened in the future. This was the result of the “Lavallee protocol,” which was activated in Massachusetts earlier this year due to the work stoppage.

Boston.com noted that the “Lavallee protocol" mandates that defendants without attorneys are ordered released after being held for more than seven days — and those who go 45 days without a lawyer have their cases dismissed without prejudice.

This is what happened in Robinson’s dangerous weapon case, Boston.com said, citing court records.

Massachusetts Republican gubernatorial candidate Brian Shortsleeve blasted Democrat Gov. Maura Healey for her handling of the lawyer shortage in the wake of the Robinson case, the Boston Herald reported.

Shortsleeve, according to the paper, said that “this should never happen in a functioning state government. Under Governor Healey, the state failed to pay public defenders adequately, failed to ensure the courts had the staffing they needed, and failed to protect the public. That is unacceptable, and it is dangerous.”

Fellow Republican gubernatorial candidate Mike Minogue also blamed Healey, the Herald said: "The fundamental role of the governor is to uphold the law and keep our communities safe. This is another example of our governor failing to solve problems and [running] an organization that has a horrible impact on the victim and their families."

Thug punches, kicks, stomps man to death in subway station because he didn't like the way victim looked at him, officials say



New York City police said a 25-year-old male admitted to beating a man to death inside a Brooklyn subway station, ABC News reported.

Police said officers arrived at the Jay Street station just after 3 p.m. Tuesday after getting a call about an "aided male," the news network said.

Police added that suspect had a katana sword — with a blade of more than 20 inches in length — resting in his lap at the time of the arrest, WABC reported.

Upon arrival, officers "observed an unidentified male, unconscious and unresponsive, with trauma about the body," police added to ABC News.

Paramedics transported the victim to New York-Presbyterian Brooklyn Methodist Hospital in "critical condition"; he later was "pronounced deceased," police told the news network.

The suspect punched, kicked, and stomped 64-year-old Nicola Tanzi — and allegedly admitted to detectives that he did it because he didn't like the way the victim looked at him, police told WABC-TV, which added that Tanzi suffered a fractured skull.

Authorities named the suspect as 25-year-old David Mazariegos late Wednesday afternoon, WABC reported, adding that he's been charged with murder, robbery, and grand larceny.

Authorities added that Mazariegos has 17 prior arrests, including for assault earlier this year, petit larceny, and graffiti, WABC said.

WABC said Mazariegos was arrested around 10 p.m. Tuesday after NYPD officers assigned to the subway in Times Square saw him sitting on the sidewalk.

Police added that suspect had a katana sword — with a blade of more than 20 inches in length — resting in his lap at the time of the arrest, WABC reported.

What's more, police told WABC that Mazariegos also was in possession of four of the victim's credit cards — including one the suspect allegedly used to make a Target purchase Tuesday night.

Detectives also are looking into similarities between Tuesday's murder and the death of a worker who confronted a shoplifter at a Morton Williams in Hell's Kitchen last month, WABC said.

More on what led to the deadly attack, according to WABC:

Police say the suspect was pulling on the exit gate at the Jay Street-MetroTech station, attempting to gain entry around 3 p.m. Tuesday when Tanzi approached.

The two exchanged words, and the suspect sucker punched the 64-year-old, knocking him to the ground.

According to investigators, video from MTA security cameras recorded the suspect then punching, kicking, and stomping the victim's head 15 times while he was on the ground.

Police say the suspect was then seen boarding a Bronx-bound No. 2 train.

Candles burned at the scene of the crime Wednesday in memory of Tanzi, WABC said, adding that others said he was a security guard and a nice guy.

— (@)

Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch credited the department's domain awareness system, which sent photos of the suspect to officers' phones, after which the suspect was arrested, WABC reported.

"Right after this horrific attack, the entire NYPD received an emergency alert to their phones with photos of the suspect and a physical description," Tisch said on X. "Eagle-eyed cops working near Times Square recognized this perp from the photos they had just received and immediately brought this dangerous criminal into custody."

Mother 'intentionally' left her toddler in hot car, police say. Now she's charged with murder.



Police in Frisco, Texas, said they responded on Aug. 16 to a hospital and learned that earlier that day a 27-year-old mother arrived at her place of employment around 2 p.m.

Detectives believe the mother at that time "intentionally left her 15-month-old child for over two hours in a vehicle she knew did not have working air conditioning with an outside temperature of at least 95 degrees," police said.

Police said Esquivel's bond was set at $250,000.

Based on information gathered during the investigation, police said Frisco detectives believe probable cause existed that Vanessa Esquivel committed murder since "intentionally leaving the child in the car caused injury/endangered the child, which is a felony."

Police added that the suspect's actions resulted in the child's death and met the statutory requirements of murder.

Police said detectives obtained a warrant for her arrest, and Dallas police on Aug. 20 took Esquivel into custody and transferred her that same day to Frisco officers' custody.

RELATED: 3-year-old boy dies after woman working for Alabama state agency left him in car that may have reached 140 degrees: Attorney

Police said Esquivel later was transferred to the Collin County Jail; its records on Tuesday indicate Esquivel was charged with murder.

Police said Esquivel's bond was set at $250,000, adding that the offense in this case is a first-degree felony that carries a punishment of five years to life in prison and a fine of up to $10,000.

Esquivel's attorney listed in jail records — Katheryn H. Haywood — on Tuesday told Blaze News that she was appointed Saturday but that Esquivel's family hired another attorney. Blaze News on Tuesday afternoon left a message with the office of the new attorney, Kenneth Onyenah of Dallas. The office confirmed to Blaze News that Onyenah is indeed Esquivel's new attorney but added that he wasn't available for comment at the time about the case.

Police said those with information about the case are asked to contact the Frisco Police Department's non-emergency number — 972-292-6010 — or submit a tip using Tip411 (text FRISCOPD and the tip to 847411).
